Lawrence Dallaglio's Diet Tips

Lawrence Dallaglio's Top 5 Diet Tips

Just as you wouldn’t quiz Heston Blumenthal for advice on scrummaging, asking a fridge-sized rugby player for the optimum eating plan is admittedly a tiny bit ridiculous. But Lawrence Dallaglio is much more than your every day World Cup winning ex-England international. With a recipe book and pasta sauce under his belt along with a father who worked at the Savoy, Dallaglio is undoubtedly a man who knows not just his onions, but his carrots, parsnips and cauliflower, too.

And though all too often the trend for ex-athletes is to expand like party balloons when trading training sessions for a regime of lager, TV appearances and takeaways, Dallaglio’s still every little bit the competitor. You only have to look at his 2,000 mile charity bike ride from Greece to London alongside cricket legend/Morrison’s hot pot peddler Freddie Flintoff to see there’s life in the monster-sized flanker yet.

So from chugging water and curbing your beer habit to the news that carbs are the friend of the gym bunny alone, heed Dallaglio’s expert diet advice and you too may just become a millionaire sports star within weeks.*
